PR - one-time

One of Petah Tikva's twin cities is Mizritz in Poland, but if you ask Rami Greenberg, the mayor of Petah Tikva, the distance between the two has never been farther.

"This city will become the number one tourist city in Israel. This month we are celebrating 142 years as the city with the greatest strengths in the country."



Is Petah Tikva really expected to push Tel Aviv and become a pearl of tourism and the busiest city in Israel?

Will the dilemma between living on Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv and Ha'atzmaut Street in Petah Tikva be decided in the latter direction?

We caught up with Mr. Greenberg, who is gaining a lot of sympathy for his energetic work, for a crowded conversation about the gap between the gray image of the city, and the actual reality.

Rami, what makes Petah Tikva the number 1 city in Israel?



"There are tens of thousands employed here, all the leading companies in the Israeli economy are here, as a group of health centers - we are the largest: Beilinson, Hasharon, Schneider, Geha, Oranit, etc. Number 1. There are 275,000 residents living here, spread over 40 neighborhoods. A very heterogeneous city - the microcosm of the State of Israel. We have a very serious road system and are continuing to undergo a transportation revolution. Among other things, we are promoting the light rail that is supposed to start next year with us. Everything is booming. "In Israel, all the historical things are here, there is the first plowing, the first printing house, the first women's discourse established 100 years ago, and also the first synagogue and the first secular state school in the country."



Give another example of the move you made as part of the revolution?



"For example, the market in Petah Tikva. The residents have been waiting for many years for a renovated and inviting market, and we have invested tens of millions in it. Out of a commitment to the city center and merchants, especially during our time, we also promoted the construction of the innovative car park." In this trend with the aim of making the city center a lively place and inviting tourists. You will understand, this is a huge renovation, estimated at tens of millions of shekels. The list of tasks already done includes the renovation of the roof, installation of modern ventilation system, water and drainage systems, road scrubbing "Layering and discounting new asphalt. And we have many more plans for the future. Lots."



And are there more highlights on the market?

Something that makes the experience in it much cooler?



"Completely. There is also, for example, the epoxy floor that we invested millions of shekels in. We went out for example in another tender of 20 stores that for years the municipality did not provide for use. We have combined them now and all for the purpose of designation as restaurants, places of entertainment and leisure. It is on the market and in the best quality available. "

Let's return for a moment to the matter of tourism to the city.

Why would a tourist who comes to Israel mark Petah Tikva as a point that cannot be given up?



"Why do tourists come to Tel Aviv or Netanya? For the sea and the hotels. So true, we do not have a sea, but there are hotels here, including those that are on the park and the ecological lake. You have somewhere to walk around, and there are leading entertainment centers and restaurants in the country. "More than any other city. We plan to build a few more hotels in the near future."



What else is happening in a city that is worth reference and makes it a great city?



"There is a very serious awakening of the entire city center, we have revived it, we have set up a new community center for example.

Above the market were built two towers and in recent years the place attracts a lot of young people, and getting ready to get up there for another large building on the outskirts of the market. "



If everything is so good and great, why Petah Tikva is seen by default? I do not remember hearing someone say that his dream was to live in Petah Tikva



" "It's just a joke, it really is not perceived that way and certainly not by the residents. It is completely not a default. Everyone who works here does not perceive it that way. Not even those who were born and raised here

Wondering whether to move to Petah Tikva?

Take that into account

  • A celebration for zoology enthusiasts:

    Termites of the formus species, which is considered the most harmful species in the world, were first identified in Israel in Petah Tikva, the Ministry of Environmental Protection announced several months ago.

    "This is a holiday for termite lovers in Israel who were privileged to watch the termite with its eating disorders and wonderful culture," says Walla!

    Business, Ohad Dror, avid termite lover, "The humidity and heat conditions allow him to reproduce freely. He has a very strong appetite for trees, he does not care what kind, he eats like a rhino, and also electrical wires, they come to him very well."

  • There is a horizon at the end of the station:

    after years of procrastination, very recently and at a good time, the Petah Tikva City Council approved the agreement with the state to build a new central station, on the territory of the old one.

    The one that will be demolished, the floor in 1957 and does not provide an adequate response to all the transportation needs.

    The land on which an approved master plan has been applied since 2007 is also expected to include a new business center. "

  • The epoxy coating:

    True, it seems that no one will move from Neve Tzedek in Tel Aviv to Independence Avenue in Petah Tikva just to step on the epoxy floor in the market, but still, the choice to route millions of shekels for the floor coating is noteworthy and we like to pargan when there is room.

    "Look," says Dotan Vaknin, of DW Projects Ltd., the man closest in Israel to the concept of a doctor of epoxy coatings, "This is one of the most durable types of flooring available, with a very high level of abrasion and durability, especially in places where there is traffic." Awake like a market. It's a different world than regular ceramic flooring and the public will love this choice. You can add a high coefficient of friction to this material that prevents slipping and creating a walking experience on a shiny floor. But the benefits do not end there: it is a first-class ecological solution: unlike floor Concrete that absorbs water, wears out and allows the infiltration of oils and other polluting chemicals, when it comes to epoxy - it prevents this completely. It is also very easy to wash and create an instant appearance of cleanliness that is necessary for the environment of food addicts. In fact, it is a solution taken from the aviation world. , Where there is a requirement to hang hangars in epoxy, so what is suitable for storing a 35 F plane that costs hundreds of millions, is definitely also suitable for the market floor in Petah Tikva.

  • For lovers of quiet:

    According to the CBS Quality of Life Index (2019), the city ranks fifth on the list of major cities and ranks first in the indices: external noise interfering with the apartment and general trust (confidence in others), but in 12th place in the recycled waste index.
